Chiney Ogwumike knew she would be replacing a pretty good player this season in her older sister, Nneka. She took it upon herself to work on things that would help fill the void. So far it's been smooth sailing.

"I just enjoy playing and doing everything I can to make us look good," said Ogwumike, the younger sister of the WNBA Rookie of the Year. "I remember Coach always telling her to play hard and be aggressive on both ends of the court, so that's what I try to do."

Ogwumike had her sixth consecutive double-double and has reached double figures in scoring in every game.

"They did a good job of doubling me initially," Ogwumike said. "But it's good to have such great teammates. They kept looking for me, not necessarily on the first or second pass, but on the third and fourth passes, and I just needed to finish."

Mikaela Ruef, a redshirt junior, added career bests of 13 rebounds and five assists for the Cardinal (9-0), who won their 82nd consecutive home game - the longest active streak in the nation. Joslyn Tinkle had 10 points.

"I have a lot of fun being back out there," said Ruef, who missed last season after foot surgery. "It was no fun being on the bench, and I was determined not to be on the bench anymore."

Gena Johnson scored 13 to lead the Tigers, who lost their second straight after opening the season with seven wins. Kendall Kenyon added a team-high nine rebounds.

"We knew it would take our best defensive effort just to slow Chiney down," Tigers coach Lynne Roberts said. "We didn't stick to the plan, but most of that is because she's just that good."

Stanford, playing its first game in 13 days, matched the third-best start in school history and could improve on that when it travels to play No. 24 South Carolina and No. 13 Tennessee next week. The Cardinal host No. 2 Connecticut in two weeks.
